The New York Islanders' winning streak was put to the test on Friday night, but they came out on top in thrilling fashion. Matthew Schaefer's overtime goal gave the team their fourth straight victory, tying the game at 2-2.
Jonathan Drouin's goal had tied the game earlier in the third period, setting up a back-and-forth contest between the two teams. However, it was the Islanders who came out on top in the extra session, as Schaefer beat Mammoth goalie with just over two minutes left to play, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
The Islanders' win extends their winning streak and pushes them above .500 for the road trip. They will look to keep the momentum going when they take on the next team on their schedule.
